Alaqua Animal Refuge , a nationally recognized nonprofit rescue and sanctuary on 100 acres in Freeport, Florida, is seeking a dedicated Animal Care Technician to join our team. We care for dogs and puppies of all breeds, sizes, and backgrounds—many of whom come from situations of abuse, neglect, or abandonment.

  • Monitor behavior, note changes, and report health or behavioral concerns
  • Help with playgroups, socialization, enrichment, and daily routines
  • Support intake and rehabilitation plans for newly rescued dogs
  • Provide love, structure, and compassion to dogs who need it most

What We’re Looking For

  • Prior hands-on experience with dogs in a shelter, kennel, veterinary, or training environment (required)
  • Ability to safely handle dogs of all sizes and temperaments
  • Hardworking, dependable, and comfortable working outdoors in all weather
  • Physically fit and capable of lifting 50+ lbs, handling strong dogs, cleaning, and more
  • Team player with strong communication skills and deep compassion for animals

Why Join the Alaqua Team?

  • Work directly with rescued dogs and puppies in a peaceful, healing environment
  • Be part of a passionate team dedicated to second chances and lifelong care
  • Do meaningful, active work that makes a daily impact
  • Enjoy a beautiful 100-acre sanctuary filled with hope and heart
  • Flexible schedules | Full and part-time roles | Ongoing training and growth opportunities

If you’ve got a heart for dogs and a strong work ethic, we’d love to have you on the team.
